Look Who’s Famous!
During our thrift shopping day, we found a gem!
I’ve been a vendor at the Saint Augustine Family Fun Fest for two years – and yes, it is an amazing family venue! (Not the best for our sales yet, but most of our neighbors do very well.) The kids LOVE it so much that they plan to be at the next one each time we are leaving.
My 12+ girls volunteer (last time, officially), and Kimberly and Jaquline trade between “guard duty” (where they walk Jillian, Anastasia, and Lucas around to play on rides, watch the shows, and visit vendors) and “working the booth” (helping to mind the booth and try to sell our crafts).
On a “Family Fun Fest 2018” poster in the Alpha Omega Thrift shop, was Anastasia’s smiling butterfly-painted face! (In the little bubble just above all the sponsors.)
We even checked our pictures to make sure (because she had two different faces during the course of the day). Anastasia is the “butterfly.”
And yes, it was their cousin, smiling down from the poster.
The girls got so excited!
Becky had to take a picture and send it to Anastasia’s mom with the line, “look who’s famous!”
Maybe not “famous,” but it certainly launched the girls into discussing their happy memories from the two fun fests and their hopes for this coming year’s event! (The cutest part for me, is that almost every time I pick Anastasia up from school, she asks me, “when are we going to the next Family Fun Fest?” – she will love seeing herself on a poster for an event she loves!)
Thanks for reading!
Type at you next time…
